New LED Fogs!


Big ~O~

Tossed in some 5000K LED fog lights over the weekend. I think they match the DRL's and the HID's really well. Sorry the truck is dirty in the pics....of course it had to rain on the way home from football :throwup:

Have a part number for them? Also was the install hard? They look great!

The fog light bulb number is 5202 and they are only easy to install. Just peal back the wheel well lining to give you access. The passenger side is a little harder to get at but still not to bad at all.

Can you be more specific on exactly which bulb? Looking at their site, there a few 5202 applications. Thanks.

I just baught a pair of LED 5202 bulbs and just realized they say 100watt!!!

 

I'm reading that's too much for fogs correct??

I would think so but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't know you could get 100w...the most I have seen was 80w. Where did you get them?

Got them from eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-HID-White-100W-CREE-5202-H16-LED-Daytime-Running-DRL-Fog-Lights-Bulbs-Lamps-/182263272082?hash=item2a6fbcd292:g:E00AAOSw9IpXx2IG&vxp=mtr

 

Honestly I put them in and took them out. They did nothing really to brighten up the roadway. They shot straight ahead more which was weird. I put the originals back in. When I turn those on I can see the road around the front of the truck light up. Didn't see any of that when I turned on the LED ones. They also didn't really lock into,place like the originals too. So maybe they were cocked in the lens somewhat. Also I had them on while I was installing them and they didn't get hot at all.

Some of the LED products have poor lumens but just give the color temperature you want like 5000 or 6000K. My buddy bought a set off ebay for his Yukon and the only thing they did was match his HID headlights. There was very little light output...couldn't even tell when he turned them on. Crappy deal man. Hopefully they will take them back and give you a refund.

Pretty much what happens to me too.

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
